I hope you’re not right, Elegance, about Ms. Cearcy being bought out-unless she’s OK with that decision. After a year, maybe. Still why can’t producers and casting see sometimes what we folks here see. So many instances where a “name” will be brought in to keep a show open and it fails. Don’t get me wrong, I love OOTI and if this casting keeps it open, great. Better than closing it.
I really hope Darlesia Cearcy’s contract is up and she’s not being forced out by this new casting. I thought Ms. Cearcy was way better than Lea Salonga in the role and, as others have noted, I don’t think this casting will boost sales.

Sorry to hear this. I used my debit card last week for OOTI for the Wed matinee. It went thru. Hope this isn't new glitches with debit cards!
Sorry to go on about this, BUT, Loopin’, have you seen Betty Buckley in Hello, Dolly!? If you have, fine.
Next, if, as you say, “pretending is involved in acting”, why do you say “acting is not about pretending”?
And, finally, “Actors can only play action not quality” and “that is why old fashioned acting rings untrue or phoney”, what period of time are you talking about? The “old-fashioness” of the 3
I might also add that if Ms. Buckley possesses none of the qualities you list, are you saying the producer of the Broadway company, Scott Rubin and the director of the Broadway company, Jerry Zaks, were wrong in their offer of the role of Dolly to Ms. Buckley? An offer, not an audition. A year long National Tour? They must have confidence in her.
The great late Michael Jeter once answered an interviewer’s question: “Mr. Jeter, how do you get into such a character, a character who is ill living his last days at the Grand Hotel?...” Mr. Jeter answered simply, “I pretend”. An actor certainly has to find the truth, what they can relate to and what they can’t and there is certainly an amount of pretense involved.

Does anyone have any ideas about this: first, so glad to have TDF site back! They don't accept Discover card so I have to wait for a direct deposit to go thru today after midnight or one or two in the morning to my Visa account- the question I have is that I wanted to purchase this Wednesday matinee tix for guests I have in town- do you think the Wednesday matinee will still be up at that time tonight for the following afternoon? Any thoughts are appreciated!

Now then, Visa, AMEX, Mastercard. No Discover card?? It's 2018 TDF! Let's get with the program! I have to say after working in many theatrical offices and spent more than enough time at staff meetings, let's step up to the plate. We have our cell phones and Starbucks coffee, now let's proof read and go thru various options and what was good and what was bad and what should we change in our new upgrade. I was a supervisor and we were paid to work things out. Slow curtain. The end.

Yes, macnyc, as Katharine Hepburn once said, “a lot of it is luck, a lot of it is luck...” !
Hi jbm2: I experienced no offers displayed for a week. I'm afraid to breath this but I got the offers page displayed suddenly last night without my doing anything except logging on as I have been doing so hang tight! Little by little I guess the glitches are being worked out. I played around with it for a while as if ordering tickets and it appears to be working. However, until I actually go through with a purchase I won't know if it is indeed totally functioning.

A thought: last week my credit card could not be authoruzed per message from TDF. This was for an order for OOTI. The order was confirmed by email and the tickets were at WC. I called TDF about it and the Rep said I could just go back on the site when it was up and rectify the card problem. Do you think I can’t see any offers now because of this problem last week? Maybe there is a freeze on the account? Not sure. I can’t find any place on the site now to rectify the problem. Guess I’ll call them

I'm seeing the same, jbm. Also says something about my account might not be activated whatever that means. Not activated after 20 or more years a member! I almost fell over when I got an email reply from TDF. They apologized and said they fixed the redirecting problem and ask for my input on how things were running. Since then I have sent two more emails saying I still can't log on to offers. Down for a week today. I expected glitches and understood the shut down of four days but this is I don't

Thx. I'll try anything now. Still can't see offers. Email from TDF saying they fixed things but I still can't see the offers. A member supporting them for over 20 years and over a week and still can't log on. Patience is over.

Thx, all. CT2: do you mean have someone else with a TDF account trying to login on one of my previous tried three devices? Guess I could try that.

Add my laptop to my iPhone and Amazon Kindle as another device that won’t let me passed the Login page on TDF. Could it be the browsers? Silk, Firefox and Safari are the 3 I have.

Thx,bfreak. I just don’t get why some can order tickets now while I’ve tried on my iPhone and Amazon Kindle device for days and I can’t even get to the offers page. Frustrating as I have guests coming into town next week and would like to take them to see something. It’s the unknown amount of time that this will ever be fixed that is the most frustrating.
So what do you all think is up with their new website? I see some here are ordering tickets and I can’t get pass the email/password entering page. I noticed they put up a disclaimer on the site about addressing problems and working hard to fix the glitches. I already emailed them twice with no reply.
Kindle and IPhone- nothing. Get login with email and password then nothing. Anyone have an update? Am I ever going to log onto TDF again? After 25 years a member, this is what they give us? Not even a general email to say they're working on it? Sorry, but kind of lax. And we are members. Supporting the organization. Members.
